The Perfect Turn for Stavrakis
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
The player in the small blind raised to 5,000. Filippos Stavrakis three-bet to 15,000 and the small blind called.
The board came 8♠J♠Q♣. Undeterred, the small blind chose to lead for 20,000 into Stavrakis, the preflop aggressor. Stavrakis called and both players went to a turn.
The K♥ landed and the small blind moved all in. Stavrakis snap called tabling his cards as he did so. He showed A♦10♦ for the turned nut straight. The small blind forced to show tabled A♠4♦ with only hopes of a chop - no help for the small blind on the river and Stavrakis doubles up.
